You ever been in a big ol’ city like Diamond City and thought to yourself, “Now, where in the world can I get some clean water without runnin’ all over the place or wastin’ my time with them fancy water purifiers?” Well, let me tell ya, there’s a spot in that city you ain’t gotta work so hard for it. Now, I ain’t talkin’ about no miracle, but you do have to know where to look. I was just thinkin’ about how I settled into Home Plate, right there in the heart of Diamond City, and how I found myself needin’ some clean water. So, I figured I’d tell y’all about this little find.
Now, first thing you gotta do is head over to the back of Diamond City, ’round the eastern side. It ain’t too far off the main road, but you gotta keep an eye out. There’s a water pump sittin’ back there just waitin’ for someone to fix it up. If you ain’t got the knack for repairin’ things, don’t worry, you can always ask ol’ Sheng Kawolski in Diamond City for help. He’s a good man, and if you get to talkin’ right with him, he might even give ya up to 200 caps for your trouble. Ain’t that somethin’?
If you’re askin’ how I got it workin’, well, it ain’t that hard once you know what to do. There’s this pile of junk sittin’ in the sewer system, all the way in the east. You gotta get down there and pick it up, then make your way up to the water pump in the northeastern part of the city. Once you’re there, you’ll have to use your repair skill or a tool to fix that pump. Now, you gotta make sure you do it right, ’cause that pump won’t work unless you hit it just right with them skills of yours. When you get it right, the junk will be gone from your inventory, and you’ll have clean water for all your needs.
If you don’t wanna bother with all that fancy work and just need a quick drink, don’t forget there’s also a little irradiated lake not far off Second Street. It ain’t exactly what you’d call clean water, but it’ll do in a pinch if you’re thirsty enough. Still, I recommend stickin’ with the pump if you can manage to get it up and runnin’.
Now, I know you might be wonderin’ why I’m talkin’ about this. Well, it’s simple. I’ve been playin’ this survival thing for a good while now, and I’m at level 57, so I’ve seen enough to know what works and what don’t. My main base is right there in Home Plate, and that water pump has saved me more times than I can count. Don’t gotta keep wastin’ caps or messin’ with makin’ water myself when I can just go and get it from the pump. Plus, the folks over at Starlight settlement, they’re always wantin’ somethin’, so it’s good to have a steady supply.
So, the next time you’re in Diamond City, don’t forget about that water pump sittin’ there waitin’ for you. It’s a real handy thing, and it’s just one of those little tricks that can make life a whole lot easier when you’re livin’ in a city like that. Trust me, it’ll save you a whole lotta trouble.
Before I go, just let me tell you: if you’re ever out there wanderin’ ’round and you think you ain’t got no clean water, just remember this here tip and head on over to Diamond City. It might be a little far from some of the other settlements, but it sure is worth it when you need it most. Good luck, and don’t get lost out there!
